Risks to future atoll habitability from climate‐driven environmental changes
Recent assessments of future risk to atoll habitability have focused on island erosion and
submergence, and have overlooked the effects of other climate‐related drivers, as well as …

From platform top to adjacent deep sea: New source-to-sink insights into carbonate sediment production and transfer in the SW Indian Ocean (Glorieuses archipelago)
Over the past ten years, a huge amount of source-to-sink studies have aimed to unravel the
tectonic, climatic and other processes that shape the landscape from mountains to the deep …
